Riverdale, NY - Junior
Arianna Montefusco (Levittown, NY / General Douglas MacArthur) scored her team-leading seventh goal of the year to lead Manhattan to a 1-1 draw with Siena on Senior Day at Gaelic Park.
In the 80th minute, sophomore
Olivia Maldonado (Babylon, NY / Babylon) fired a shot that the Saints' Taylor Dorado deflected away, before Montefusco corralled the rebound and fired it into the back of the net.
Unfortunately, the visitors would answer just over a minute later as Carrie Krohn finished on the left side, with Deanna Lomino collecting the assist.
Siena had a pair of opportunities at the end of regulation, only to be denied by senior
Camryn Nici (Seaford, NY / St. Anthony's).
In overtime, each team had opportunities but were unable to convert as Manhattan played to a draw for the first time since last year's finale.
